Not necessarily a Valk question but I do value the input from my fellow Texans...

With the flat 6 in the 1800 class, would you be open to considering a bike with 100k miles?  I'd rather lower mileage but quite a few used bikes are up in the 90k range even as 06-09 ranges.  Just wondering how much that should put me off.

Thanks for any input.

I wouldn't worry about it if I was you.  We all know how long the 1500 F6s can run, and I would expect the 1800 to be just that much better.  At 100k you might be getting into peripheral stuff wearing out, like u-joints and alternators brushes, but the engine should be just barely broken in.

I'll agree with Mark, the mileage would not bother me at all, as long as the service has been attended to and the price would be adjusted for the higher mileage.
